Abstract: This paper presents a compact broadband antenna for civil and military wireless communication applications. Two prototypes of the antenna are designed and simulated. The proposed antenna is etched on low cost substrate material with compact electrical dimensions of 0.207λ×0.127λ×0.0094λmm3 at 2GHz frequency. The simple microstrip feeding technique and antenna dimensions are involved in the design to attain the proper impedance matching. An optimization of variables is carried out by multiple rigorous simulations. The designed antennas have achieved the broadband impedance bandwidth of 89.3% and 100% at 10dB return loss. The antennas exhibit omni directional radiation pattern at lower resonances and strong surface current distribution across the radiator. The peak realized gain of 5.2dBi at 10.9GHz resonant frequency is realized. Results reveal that the proposed broadband antenna is a better choice for WiMAX, UWB, land, naval and airborne radar applications.
